Organised by Luiss University, Ramon Llull University, and the University of National and World Economy, this one‑day interdisciplinary roundtable invites scholars to explore how digital technologies are reshaping democratic practices in the EU, often in ways that reproduce gender inequalities.
Drawing on perspectives from IR feminist theory, international history, and economics, the event will examine how digital tools, platforms, and governance systems may unintentionally reinforce entrenched power structures and gender biases.
🔍 What to Expect
The program will feature thematic panels where PhD candidates and postdoctoral researchers from ENGAGE.EU partner universities present their work and engage in open, constructive discussions.
This event is designed to encourage intellectual exchange, interdisciplinary thinking, and collaboration across the ENGAGE.EU network.
